IPhone 4s stuck in headphone mode

I purchased the 4s two days ago, and have had it stuck in headphone mode twice in two days. I have tried the headphone trick with two different types of headphone, and it does not fix the issue. Resetting the phone fixes it. The phone has not been subjected to excessive moisture, and I have not used headphones with the phone.

I realize a number of people have experienced this issue, but my concern is that this is a hardware issue, and I was wondering how Apple were resolving this issue.

Resetting an apple device twice in two days is not acceptable.

iPhone 4S, iOS 5.0.1

Thanks very much. I will contact Apple to see how they want to proceed with this. In the meantime, I will get the hairdryer ready. 🙂
